I am surprised that Debbie Macomber has made the Warm Up America project an opportunity for her own profit by publishing a book that we all HAVE TO BUY — is she donating a percentage of her sales profit to the Warm Up Project? to Charity?
True, we do not ‘have to buy’ this book — there are plenty of patterns stored in our own brains that we can recall and put into a square for charity afghans.
If this were truly charity knitting, then why is this book not offered online on a free downloadable format??
And if I have missed an important aspect of Macomber’s offering to the knitting community, that relates to donating her skill and talent, please post a reply here. Enlighten me and perhaps many others.
Thanks —

I can’t answer your question about how much of the book profits are donated to charity, however, I do work closely with another group who sells a book for charity. In that instance, yes, 100% of the profits of the book are used to fund that charity. I would imagine that Debby’s is also similar.
